The set included the members of Pink Floyd actually building a table on-stage (to represent ‘Work’) and being served tea (to represent ‘Teatime’).

Those imaginary Syd/Floyd albums are great! I much prefer "The Shape of Questions to Heaven" to "Saucerful of Secrets" and the others stand up nicely.

Oh, you already mentioned these?
Well, put it this way: One album of "What If Syd hadn't left Pink Floyd" was fine, two was pushing it, and three wasn't going to work.
Album two is OK (actually, I played them the wrong way around and the third extra one was better)
But, this one makes a lot of sense, and mixing "Golden Hair" into "Set the controls" is genius.

Listened to Obscured by Clouds again the other night. It still amazes me that that record tends to get overlooked. Yeah, it has its flaws and isn't quite on a par with the "classic" works, but there's enough good stuff on there that makes me want to keep revisiting it. I like the whole off-the-cuff charm of it, which is refreshing considering the intricate productions that followed.

I'd heard there were plans to remix OBC for the Early Years box, I'd like to have heard that as it's kinda boxy and flat sounding.
― MaresNest, Monday, 19 May 2014 21:00 (nine years ago) link
Yeah Obscured rules. Even when I've been sick to death of Floyd it's been a go-to because it's sound is so fresh, just as Turrican describes
― lauded at conferences of deluded psychopaths (Sparkle Motion), Monday, 19 May 2014 21:02 (nine years ago) link
Production is def straightforward and not-that-considered for sure. The songs are so plainspoken and unassuming though, it kind of works.
― lauded at conferences of deluded psychopaths (Sparkle Motion), Monday, 19 May 2014 21:03 (nine years ago) link
Yeah, it's like the last document of the band when they could still be a bit more carefree with their material. After Dark Side, it was a whole different ball game, as they say.

haha that is awesome please send a screenshot
Thanks one and all. I have spent quite a bit of time over the years trying to imagine how I might make a painting based around Floyd. I ruled out portraiture or even creating a composite image of the band onstage. Nothing seemed right. Anyway I finally found the right image and it made sense in light of the kind of things I've been doing in painting of late. And I loved the idea of alot of different kinds of time (the ancient location, the filmed documentation, the performance of the band, and my memories of being there) collapsing on one another. And then the structure of the painting just kind of came together and I started to pursue it from that direction.

New album in October. All we know so far:
• It's called The Endless River• Rick Wright plays on it• Youth (Killing Joke) is involved in some way (he posted as much on Facebook)
No idea if Roger Waters is on it, but I certainly hope so...

Yeah, I was just reading on the Steve Hoffman forums. There's a quote there from Durga McBroom, one of their background singers since the 90s:
"The recording did start during The Division Bell sessions (and yes, it was the side project originally titled "The Big Spliff" that Nick Mason spoke about). Which is why there are Richard Wright tracks on it. But David and Nick have gone in and done a lot more since then. It was originally to be a completely instrumental recording, but I came in last December and sang on a few tracks. David then expanded on my backing vocals and has done a lead on at least one of them."
